AGM Global Vision FoxBat-5 NL3 Night Vision

While you can technically hold it, the FoxBat-5 is a substantial unit weighing nearly 3 pounds with 5x magnification. Because any hand shake is amplified at that magnification, we strongly recommend using a tripod for stable, long-duration observation.

Unlike goggles designed for mobility, the FoxBat-5 is a bi-ocular system. It uses a single image intensifier tube split into two eyepieces, which provides a much more comfortable viewing experience for extended sessions by reducing eye strain.

The included long-range infrared illuminator significantly boosts visibility in total darkness, allowing you to identify targets well beyond the standard capabilities of the naked eye. Its exact range depends on environmental conditions like humidity and ambient light, but it is optimized for mid-to-long-range detection.

The proximity sensor is a power-saving feature that automatically shuts the unit off when you move your eyes away from the eyepieces. This helps preserve battery life and prevents the device from accidentally revealing your position in the field.

Yes, the device features a diopter adjustment range of -5 to +5. This allows you to fine-tune the focus to match your vision, ensuring a sharp image without needing to wear your corrective glasses while using the binoculars.

You can expect between 30 and 60 hours of operation on a single set of batteries. Actual runtime will vary based on how frequently you use the infrared illuminator and the ambient temperature, as extreme cold can reduce battery efficiency.
